# MUST READ Books for SAP Career Growth

 Published by [Stacey Reitz](https://blog.shiperp.com/author/stacey-reitz) on  Jul 19, 2019, 4:00:22 PM

> “So many books, so little time.” ―**Frank Zappa**

There are so many books out there to help you learn about what SAP is, how it works, and how you should use it to successfully digital transformation for your business. We also sprinkled in a few excellent self-improvement in here as well. These selected books help you improve your soft skills, which is vital for working with other SAP professionals.

Here's what we came up with after running around the ERP Integrated Solutions office to survey its talented business analysts, support team members, project managers, and developers about their favorite books.
